If you really need more loading capacity get this
One you learned how to back it up (not that hard after some practice, of course nothing can beat the original truck + dolly + trailer 25,25 combination), it's sooo much easier to use than a b-double and the weight gets where it should be -
but that is most stable combination
worst thing would be to use 4x2 tractor and 60t that will push you too much
or truck+2x central axle trailer like they have in NL
are you able to back truck like in your picture
can you reverse it only straight or you can steer?
i dont know anyone yet who can steer it
also i heard ( but not sure source) that they are not allowed in DK
however you are right about truck+dolly+semitrailer
that is far best combination good comfort good maneuverability easy to drive and reverse ..... -
guys does anyone of you look at prices of new actros?
they are way too expensive
i would rather chose 2xmp3 than one new

yep. MP4 is the expencive toy. OM471CRD(DD13), Euro6
-
but truck cant be twice more expensive
this shows inability of manufacture to make competitive product
as much i can see cheapest version of new actros with 420hp smaller and narrow cab without retarder in euro5 norm is more expensive than average megaspace mp3 with anything and v8
for example you can get very good equipped scania v8 engine largest cab automatic retarder side skirts xenon alloy rims for some 100 000-105 000
basic actros new is 110 000 -
belive me, Cascadia, that shares engines with MP4, with bluetec6 (EPA2012) is expencive in the USA too
-
and as much i know euro 6 over euro 5 will be 11000-12000€
but where is rest?
you can find decent euro 5 fleet tractor for 70000-75000€
here mercedes offered
-megaspace
-all spoilers
-special details for 125 year of first truck
-white color everything painted
-fuel tank 650+550

-
